Fatma, a nursery schoolteacher in Berlin, highlights the discrimination she faces due to her headscarf and stylish appearance, despite her qualifications. Her experiences mirror those of Hanna, another resident, who fears entering certain neighborhoods and receives derogatory comments. A report by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research reveals that perceptions of being an immigrant or Muslim lead to heightened discrimination, emphasizing that over half of affected individuals experience such bias monthly, showcasing a pressing social issue in Germany.
"The other drivers give me the eye. The instructor in my nursery teacher training program once said to me that she thinks the headscarf is unhygienic."
"Experiences of discrimination do not happen randomly," explains Aylin Mengi, co-author of the Racism Monitor. Those interpreted as immigrants or Muslims are most affected.
